- If not this week then in the next couple of weeks. There was talk of bringing DH Smith. TJ Wilson and Nattie to SD as The New Hart Foundation. That was to happen shortly BUT DH Smith went to WWE creative and pitched the idea that he be brought on board as part of The Legacy and that is set to happen. Many backstage feel that Harry (DH) Smith was wrong to deep six Nattie and TJ (her fiancee and his best friend of over 20 years) in order to get a bigger push on the bigger stage.
Many also feel with that happening that Manu may not be a part of WWE soon. Several pushed(most notably Randy Orton) for Manu to be kicked out of the group as he wasnt in the same league/potential as the others and didnt fit in with Ortons group and that the group would be a better fit with Orton, Cody, Dibiase and Smith.

| I'm not a fan of a new member joining Legacy every week only to get kicked out the week after. It's getting ridiculous, first Manu, now Deuce, I wouldn't be surprised if DH Smith ends up the same. And WWE must rate Smith highly with the amount of times the plans for his push have been altered. And Manu may not have fit in with Legacy but he is talented and has impressive agility for a big man. He reminds me of Hernandez. | |

According to a source in Florida Championship Wrestling, Harry “DH” Smith” is set to be called back up to the Raw roster any week now and become the newest member of Randy Orton’s “Legacy” faction.
Smith has been off WWE television since last May. Shortly there after, Smith was drafted to SmackDown as part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft. Smith, however, returned to Florida Championship Wrestling on August 26, without making his SmackDown debut. He made the decision to return to WWE’s developmental promotion on a full-time basis so he could mature, and put more effort into developing his in-ring work and his personality.
In October, WWE put Smith together with long-time friend TJ Wilson with the intent to call them up to the main roster as “The New Hart Foundation” with SmackDown Diva Natalya as their manager. In the meantime, the two won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championships, defeating Joe Hennig and Sebastian Slater. Smith & Wilson lost the belts to Tyler Reiks and Johnny Curtis on December 11 at a FCW television taping. The title loss appeared to be as a result of the team finally getting called up to SmackDown, but that was not the case.
Officials had pegged Smith & Wilson to feud with Carlito & Primo Colon over the WWE Tag Team titles, but went with The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson instead. That put Smith & Wilson back on the drawing board.
With Smith’s forthcoming call-up to the main roster, Wilson will be left to fend for himself once again. It’s going to be tough as Wilson’s partnership with Smith was perhaps his best chance at getting called up to the main roster because he is a bit on the small side. | |

| Wow Rocky, hold it mate, don't think Manu is in Hernandez class, watched him last night, that guy is unbelievable
Smith is rated highly, many within the Harts believe he is actually the best talent to come out of the dungeon, for his age that is, Vince McMahon himself was on the phone to SD and RAW excecutives demanding to know why a 'thorughbred' was in development when there wasn't enough talent on show at either a show or a PPV, McMahon made the call from his jet, cant remember what one it was though, it was lately | |

| Woulda rather had Smith and TJ Hooker (swear that's what I thought his name was coming into this thread lol) to have formed HF2 (maybe even with *long shot*... Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) and have a little fued vs. Legacy going into SS. I dont think that Smith would even look the part in Legacy, the big meat head, teamed with Lanky Randy and Cody-I-Swear-Im-Not-On-Crack-I-Just-Look-Like-It-Rhodes? Ah! Im just bitter, I wanted to see the Hart Foundation 2. | |

| I don't think they would have used that name anyway MaFish, they where going by the name The Canadian Bulldogs, I was looking forward to seeing them as a team as well, they had a dark match on SD a while ago with Carlito and Primo and it went for something like 22 minutes, standing ovation before the show kicked off and the spoiler sites where listing it as the match of the night, thats the kind of times the original Bulldogs did on a 'usual' night, it would have really reinvigorated the Tag Division.
I like the look of Harry, he looked very green on RAW last year, but no one looked more out of his depth than Cody Rhodes, he has improved 10 fold, got better tights, a good soundtrack and can talk
Harry does the same, I like him with his blank trunks and his waist coat, it suits him and he is an excellent wrestler, I posted a good few Canadian Bulldog vids from FCW, he looks and sounds a lot more comfortable than he did when he was being jobbed out all over RAW | |

| No doubt Cody has improved majorly, I loved it after his heel turn, before he was kinda bland, generic face, but the vindictive, cocky side really made him an interesting character to watch, very suprising contrast imo, and with Smith, I alway's enjoyed watching him, his first match on Raw I thought was great, the one he dedicated to his dad, and this really isn't taking anything away from any of their abilities, but Legacy has a look about them, a demenour, Smith dont 'fit' if that make's any sense?
Given his size an enforcer of a team would be a perfect fitting, but in a team where the leader is the 'muscle', made to look strongest of the team, what place would Smith play? The rookie? When he practically is the same as Cody (well not far off) experience wise, and his place is in even more question when DiBiase (if he does join them upon his return) is placed above him in the team, as he is Cody's tag partner, he's stuck playing fourth fiddle.
It's Smith's decision to drop the new team for this, I supose he's hoping for the rub off Orton to stick for a while, a case of wanting a bigger stage in an established stable, rather than starting from scratch in his own team with TJ. I can see his way of thinking, almost like guarenteed air time, guarenteed that the crowd is gonna pick it up, as they already have, but if they are as good as you say (and as Ive seen) then they would've almost certainly had a successful run in a new team.
I may sound negative in that, but on the flip side, if he does join Legacy then the learning opportunity he has is perhap's too much to pass up on, he'l learn far more working off of a main eventer such as Orton, on the big stage as well, than he would staying down development, he could well land a spot on WM 25 through this affiliation.
Thanks for posting those Gaffer, haven't had a chance yet, but I will defo check those out. | |
